On the long road of life, we have all experienced ups and downs, and perhaps the most unforgettable thing is not the loss of the person we once loved. Venerable Hongyi, a profound Zen practitioner, tells us from his life experience that sometimes, the worst can be a kind of inner confusion and confusion.
"Life is like a dream, why bother to be persistent?" said Master Hongyi. He tells us that love is beautiful, but it's not the whole of life. The loss of a loved one is painful, but if there is only this love left in our world, then have we found the true meaning of life? The answer is no. Because, life is like a mirror, reflecting our inner world, if our hearts are empty, no matter how many lovers we have, we will not be able to fill that missing tranquility.
The phrase "If the mind is empty, where is it not comfortable?" is like a beacon that illuminates our understanding of life. Master Hongyi advocates a detached view of emotion, that is, after loss, we should learn to let go, let the mind return to peace, and discover other good things in life. Perhaps, we will find that those family affection, friendship, or love and pursuit of life that we have neglected are the strength that supports us to go on.
"Life is like tea, light and flavorful. Master Hongyi used tea as a metaphor for life, warning us that losing love is only a small part of life, just like tasting tea, losing its strong taste, but being able to taste another elegant charm. It is only when we learn to taste the blandness of life that we can truly experience inner fullness and contentment.
In this fast-paced society, we are often trapped by all kinds of distractions and forget our original intentions. Master Hongyi's words remind us that no matter what happens, the most important thing is to keep a normal heart, find your own place, and live your true self. As he said, "Everything is a passerby, only practice in the heart." ”
Therefore, when we encounter the pain of losing a loved one in the journey of life, we might as well learn from Master Hongyi, turn our eyes to the heart, and look for that long-lost tranquility. The worst thing in life may not be the loss of the person you love the most, but the loss of yourself and the loss of your way. Let us look at life from a broader perspective, even if the wind and rain are strong, we can laugh at life, because true happiness is often hidden in the depths of the heart.
